The U.S. conservative political commentor Candace Owens was refused a visa to enter New Zealand for a speaking engagement because she had been banned from another country, immigration officials said Thursday.

News of the ruling came weeks after neighboring Australia also rejected her visa request, citing remarks in which she denied Nazi medical experimentation on Jews in concentration camps during World War II.

Owens is scheduled to speak at a series of events in several Australian cities and in Auckland, New Zealand, in February and March next year. Tickets remain on sale and there is no acknowledgement on the promoter’s website that she has been refused entry to both countries.

Exactly. Anyone being called that is on my ignore list. Call me a Curmudgeon.

[-] WildPalmTree@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Curmudgeon. I aim to please.

Funny. You can be a fascist token for a decade and be invited everywhere but say something bad about Israel and all the westoids turn on you.

Holocaust denial is antisemitic, not anti-Israel.

[-] funnything@lemmings.world 1 points 4 hours ago

She probably mentioned the fact the west is expiating their own guilt through blind israel support. She got framed.

Good to see the Kiwi's copying the Aussies when they told Candace to:

Get fucked cunt!

I've been led to believe that's a term of endearment to you people.

Black woman conservative why

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 21 hours ago

Makes her rich. She knows racism, as she's had to sue successfully in the past, but it's easier to get money this way. There's this podcast where atheists make fun of bad Religious movies (mostly Christian, with a few Jewish, Hindu, scientology, culty, and just plain weird Woo/conspiracy ones) and they are constantly surprised how bad they are yet still profitable.

They joke about just switching sides for the payout. Some people don't have enough standards to not do so.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

Drop the podcast name, please!

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

“God Awful Movies”

[-] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

Probably God Awful Movies, I would guess.

[-] WildPalmTree@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Did a quick search. Didn't find it. Please enlighten us. Sounds fun.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

God Awful Movies. They have other Podcasts too but I've mostly only listened to their comedy ones and not as much their serious ones. Citation Needed (not Citations Needed) is another comedy one from them, where they use mostly Wikipedia to research a subject poorly.

New Zealand telling Candace Owens to fuck the fuck off:

Have there been any left leaning influencers or otherwise banned from major countries? Not that I'd expect the right to understand why there is a disparity there. Just for my own curiosity.

[-] funnything@lemmings.world 2 points 12 hours ago

"Major" countries, that's so racist lmao

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Nice let’s go! I was hoping for this!
